Chopard ref. D6207 - The Intergalactic Web
It’s no secret that in our solar system, the four gas giant planets – Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune – each possess a ring system. But it seems the universe forgot the fifth member: the Chopard D6207, which plays host to an entire web of interlocking rings.
Encircling time in every sense, this unique chainmail forms a radiant fence around the wrist, with a distinctive 18k yellow gold ring link structure. Orbiting a quartet of ornamental stones at the center, this crystal alignment permeates the gold dial and baton hands like an intergalactic beacon. An alchemical comet of powerful materials, this bejeweled timekeeper unites the galaxies of high horology and high jewelry.
Even as early as 1860, when Louis-Ulysse Chopard established his workshop in Switzerland, the messengers among the stars were whispering deeply, with clients as far away as Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. But for this archival reference, the clientele stretches beyond the Moon.
